Yes JohnX. Don't regret buying it. Wanted a backup unit for an Antarctic trip. Having the K5 and K5iis means it's easy to switch between the two. My son will get the K20D.The AF is better in dark conditions at least.Subjectively I think the images are noticeably sharper.Bit of an extravagance but the Antarctic trip will be once in a lifetime I'm sure!

I wish someone would post some comparisons that actually show this. Even the sites dedicated to comparing cameras under controlled conditions haven't yet managed to show the K-5IIs is any sharper than the K-5II or K-5

Kings new clothes methinks

Have you looked at the comparometer on Imaging Resource? You can place the same image at the same ISO side by side and although there is very little difference between the 5 and the IIs but it is there.

5 on the left and IIs on the right, both at 80 ISO
